I'm Not Dead... Yet! (2 page)

I was a movie star...

in Hollywood!

I was a very happy husband.

I believed in true love

and was blessed to have my pie

and eat it too.

I had the perfect woman

who was my best friend, lover, wife and partner for life.

We had a remarkable, healthy, baby girl, Lyric, who was barely a year old.

Joy… hope… love… and the brightest future, full of vitamin A:

We were inseparable.

I represented everything vital, young, strong, and athletic in our

pop-culture world.

I liked and respected my fans. I loved all sports. Anything intellectually or physically challenging was exciting. I loved basketball to such an extent that I wrote a film,
One On One,
with my father Jerry Segal;

a great writer, an even better father.

As good of a ballplayer as I was, I was a horrible skater.
